On the way to Munich, stop in Dachau, once the site of a WWII Nazi concentration camp and now a moving memorial and museum. Then move on to Munich, the capital of Germany’s Bavaria region.

Get an in-depth tour of Munich. You’ll see the Frauenkirche, a gothic-style church and one of Munich’s most identifiable landmarks.
